Cal State East Bay goes virtual to start Spring Semester

CONCORD, CA (Jan. 6, 2022) — Cal State East Bay will temporarily begin the first two weeks of Spring 2022 semester with fully remote instruction.

Classes and labs offered between January 18 through 28 will be delivered via remote modalities. On Monday, January 31, classes and labs will return to the instructional modality as stated in the Spring 2022 schedule.

“We have made the decision to start the Spring semester virtually to greatly reduce population density on our campuses,” said Cal State East Bay President Cathy Sandeen. “Our students, staff and faculty have done a commendable job in preventing the spread of COVID-19 on our campuses through vaccination, regular testing and following public health guidance. To date, we have not had any community transmission and this latest decision will help us maintain a high level of safety.”

Remote operation will pertain to instructional activities only. The Hayward, Concord and Oakland campuses will remain fully open for services for the start of the Spring semester on January 18.

In Alameda and Contra Costa Counties the post-holiday rate of COVID-19 infections has risen. This comes largely due to the Omicron variant. Cal State East Bay continues to monitor public health data and recommendations.
